Great work Clarkie

This weekend i got excited and pulled Grommet apart again. He is not a ute anymore......
So i pulled the Windscreen out and started the rust repairs on the Bulkhead and i polished the roof..... wow.....
I cut the rust out of the bulkhead, welded a new plate in, Ground it back, added some filler for good measure, then primed the panel and a quick sand and top coat......
Now.... one problem... the Defender did not have a paint code so i went to the paint mob and he Guessed the colour......lol
Its close.... NOT.... but will do, you wont pic the colour diffence when its covered in mud.....
